I love all Fabriano papers. I am using this in conjunction with Jean Haines new book on light and shade in watercolour and it is giving some lovely results of paintings based on photos I took of blackberries in hedgerows. (Posted on 13/01/2016)

The paper was not accurately cut. 500mm high at one end, 497mm at the other. (Posted on 09/10/2015)

I use this paper for colored pencil and watercolor pencil work and I think it's excellent. I also love Jackson's for offering a cutting service for these papers. I don't have a lot of storage space so I was overjoyed when my pre-cut quarter imperial arks arrived. So tightly and neatly packaged. Thank you! (Posted on 20/08/2015)
